He awoke to 28 post its on the bathroom mirror, each one expressing a trait I love about him.
Was greeted by a picture banner of his life's memories.
Opened birthday presents.
Got a birthday massage.
Enjoyed a family fun game of bowling.
Was treated to lunch.
Took a relaxing nap.
Had many dear friends show up "surprising" him for birthday dessert!
